 The Shopping option

Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge, Fifth Floor Café and Terrace
Weekends are made for indulging. So, whether it’s before, after or even during a shopping trip, make the weekend extra-special with brunch at the Fifth Floor Café & Terrace at Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge.

There are dishes to tempt both sweet and savoury palates, from smoked trout with new potatoes, deep fried soft poached egg and shito pepper sauce to an Aubergine Schnitzel with pickled radish salad and garlic yoghurt sauce and a double Wagyu cheeseburger with skinny fries.  For something a bit more traditional, choose from the breakfast menu which has classics like eggs royale with smoked salmon, caviar, poached eggs, brioche and hollandaise sauce or smoked salmon with scrambled or poached eggs. With dishes that look like works of art and flavours that make taste buds pop, the menu makes for the ultimate weekend brunch experience.

The American inspired option

Harrods Tiffany Blue Box 
Ever dreamt of breakfast at Tiffany’s? Coffee, croissants and carats… the height of glamour. Only now, modern-day Holly Golightlys can enjoy their flat whites from Tiffany-blue cups, surrounded by Tiffany jewels, amazonite stone features and hand-painted Tiffany motifs. And for breakfast, the all-butter croissant comes with a choice of eggs Florentine, Cornish crab muffins, Faroe-Islands smoked salmon, as well as other mouth-watering options. This is The Tiffany Blue Box Cafe at Harrods, after all.
Harrods Ground Floor, 87-135 Brompton Road, London SW1X 7XL

The fashionable option

Prada Caffè, Harrods
For a taste of Italian style in the heart of London head for Harrod’s Pop-Up Prada Caffè - open until the end of the year. Inspired by the fashion brand’s most famous stores – including its first-ever boutique, opened at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in 1913 – Prada Caffè’s black-and-white chequered flooring, echoes the Prada’s iconic monochrome designs and paves the way to elegant velvet sofas in the season’s pale green, from which diners can admire the floral bas-reliefs that decorate the walls.  

Outside, a fabulous summer terrace awaits, where guests can peruse the menu while they bask in the sunshine. Italian coffee accompanies salmon and scrambled eggs, sourdough avocado toast with hummus and fresh herbs or Eggs Florentine. There’s also a fabulous selection of pastries, cakes and tartlets.

Unique Japanese Option

The Aubrey
International Japanese restaurant, The Aubrey has created a unique brunch menu. Available every Saturday & Sunday from Midday, Japanese favourites are served alongside twists on classic brunch dishes. Okonomiyaki (a savoury version of Japanese pancake) is topped with shimeji, spring onion, and tonkatsu; cloud-like Fluffy Pancakes are piled high with lashings of whipped cream, seasonal berries and syrup; and The Aubrey’s unique warm mochi (Buchi) served with toasted sesame and yuzu curd; as well as Tokyo favourite; Mille crêpe cake with miso cream. Subtly sweet and soft, the shokupan – Japanese milk bread – is a key ingredient for The Aubrey’s famed sandos while those with a more savoury palette will love Brunch dishes, like Tokyo Eggs Royale with yuzu hollandaise and tea-smoked salmon.

There’s also the option to add two hours of free-flowing bottomless beverages, choosing from The Aubrey's very own champagne, Akashi Kuro Sake, or cocktails. Brunch is a dog-friendly service, and there’s even a menu for pets too. I

The Italian option

Sette by Scarpetta
Located within the super luxe Bulgari Hotel, Sette  by Scarpetta is about as swish as it gets when it comes to weekend brunch. Every Saturday and Sunday diners can choose between shared items and three or four courses of elevated dishes that include short rib & bone marrow agnolotti and lobster tagliolini, with the option of adding some free-flowing champagne to the mix. There’s also a choice of delicious starters and desserts. With live music on offer, Sette is the place to go to celebrate the weekend in style.

The Instagram-friendly option

Feya
Feya's forest-inspired décor and birdcage seating, make it an Instagram hot spot. It employs a 75 percent women workforce and 10 percent of the profits from the sales are donated to Young Women’s Trust, a charity working to achieve economic justice for women. 

Choose from Arabian Shakshuka with eggs, labneh, halloumi and pita or a Keto omelette with caramelised onions, sun dried tomatoes and cheddar cheese and a Rainbow Acai Bowl with granola, mixed berries and almond or peanut butter. Sweet tooths will be more than satisfied here with pancakes, brioche French toast and waffles.

The Parisian Option

Cédric Grolet at The Berkeley
For those looking for a delicious breakfast to take away, Cédric Grolet at The Berkeley is open seven days a week selling the chef’s signature viennoiserie, cookies, cakes and standout patisseries, made fresh each day, with a ‘once they are gone, they are gone!’ policy. There’s also the option to order via click and collect – perfect for a breakfast picnic or to eat at home.

Alternatively, eat in and enjoy Cédric Grolet’s curated selection of signatures, including petite viennoiserie, an exquisite Waffle Flower or slice of French toast, followed by fresh fruit perfection. Or go à la carte for just-baked croissants and daily specials, accompanied by a get-up-and-go juice, coffee, tea – or glass of ice-cold champagne for extra indulgence.
